Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
CT report suggestive of metastatic spread in liver and abdomen.
This means primary site is somewhere else.
And so we need to first find out the organ from which cancer has been originating.
So better to consult oncologist and get done PET scan to find of primary organ.
Future treatment plan and prognosis depend on primary organ of cancer.
So first search for the primary organ of cancer.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
